A key function of ASSEA involves raising awareness of asbestos, asbestos safety, and asbestos-related diseases across Australia.
The current National Asbestos Awareness Campaign will cover the annual National Asbestos Awareness Week 2025, and an additional burst in March/April 202 to coincide with increased DIY and renovation activity around the Easter period.
Since 2020 ASSEA has been running awareness campaigns to raise awareness of asbestos, asbestos safety and asbestos related diseases throughout Australia.
There is an ongoing need for vigilance to prevent exposure to asbestos fibres and the need for safe, proactive removal. National Asbestos Awareness Week is an opportunity to continue this conversation with the public.
As part of National Asbestos Awareness Week (NAAW) Think Twice About Asbestos campaign an asbestos factsheet was developed and translated into multiple languages.
